There are many types of trains in Seoul but many are similar. Typically, train wagons have four doors on each side. In between the doors are rows of either cushioned or non-cushioned seats for about 7 people, except for the outer ends of each wagon where there are smaller rows of seats for about 3 people, marked for the use by the elderly or disabled persons and pregnant women.

[edit] Emergency Procedures

How to open the doors in a Seoul Subway train.

Each train has at least one fire extinguisher and options for opening the door in an emergency. A help phone is also available in very few cars.

[edit] Help for English Speakers

All trains in Seoul have both English and Korean announcements regarding each train stop. In addition, a map displays the names in both Korean and English characters. Many trains also have a LED display above a door or in the middle of the train car that displays information in Korean and English.
